Before Ash Wednesday comes Fat Tuesday, better known as Pączki Day in Ambridge.Good Samaritan Parish will carry on its annual tradition of selling pączki—homemade sugared doughnuts—from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fat Tuesday, March 5 while supplies last.

Walk-ins are welcome, but the delicious treats have sold out before 2 p.m. in the past, so the parish highly recommends placing orders in advance.

To order, call the paczki hotline at 724-266-6010. Leave a message, including your name, how many dozen you'd like, what time you plan to pick up on Tuesday, and your telephone number.

The cost is $9 a dozen or $4.50 for a half dozen.

Paczki, (pronounced poonch-key) is a Polish tradition that allowed people to indulge before Lent.

The Good Samaritan Choir and Friends organizes the annual Paczki Day sale, a local tradition for 25 years.
